In such a manner, a preset animation interface is output when a page refreshing operation is performed, and thereby users can get better sense of experience.

Embodiment 2

A method for page refreshing is provided in the present embodiment. For easy to understand, the method in the present embodiment is described in detail by taking page refreshing on a MicroBlog interface as an example. Referring to FIG. 2, the method comprises:

201. outputting a preset animation interface when a page refreshing operation is performed.

In this step, when a user click a refresh button on the MicroBlog interface to refresh data, the MicroBlog platform performs a refreshing operation, pull to refresh data, and meanwhile output a preset animation interface on a display interface. The preset animation interface comprises a preset logo, moving cursors and a refresh progress bar. The moving cursors move to the refresh progress bar starting from the preset logo, the visual effects of which is that the preset logo is emitting the moving cursors. In the present embodiment, preferably, the preset animation interface is consistent with involved page in width, but may be smaller than the width of the involved page. The present embodiment does not make specific limitation thereto.

In the present embodiment, the preset logo may be a MicroBlog logo itself or any other logo for advertisement, to which the present embodiment is not specifically limited. The preset logo may be in the middle or at one end of the preset animation interface. In the case that the preset logo is at one end of the preset animation interface, the moving cursors move from the end to the other end of the preset animation interface, and the refresh progress bar begins to grow from the end which is opposite to the preset logo. For example, in the case that the preset logo is at left end of the preset animation interface, the moving cursors move from the left end to right end of the preset animation interface, and the refresh progress bar begins to grow from the right end of the preset animation interface. In the case that the preset logo is in the middle of the preset animation interface, the moving cursors move to both ends of the preset animation interface simultaneously, and the refresh progress bar begins to grow from both ends of the preset animation interface simultaneously and when the refresh progress bar starting from the both ends grows to reach to a position where the preset logo is located, all of refresh information have been pulled, or the refresh progress bar begins to grow from one end (such as left end) of the preset animation interface, and when the refresh progress bar grows to reach to a position where the preset logo is located, the moving cursors move to the right end of the preset animation interface and the refresh progress bar begins to grow from the right end of the animation interface and when the refresh progress bar grows to reach to a position where the preset logo is located, all of refresh information have been pulled. The embodiment is not specifically limited to the setting of the specific location of the preset log in the presser animation interface.

The preset animation interface in this embodiment occupies only a small portion of involved MicroBlog displaying page and may be at the bottom or top of the page, to which the present embodiment is not specifically limited. In the present embodiment, the moving cursors comprise multiple groups of moving cursor units, and each group of moving cursor units comprises a predetermined number of cursor seeds. Preferably, accelerations of every sets of moving cursor units are in an arithmetic sequence in order for better animation effect, of course, accelerations of every sets of moving cursor units may be identical, to which the present embodiment is not specifically limited. The number of seeds in each group of moving cursor units may be one, two, three, four, or five, etc., to which the present embodiment is not specifically limited, but the number of seeds in each group of moving cursor units cannot exceeds total width of the page. The initial length of the refresh progress bar is zero and grows continuously with moving of the cursors.

As shown in FIG. 3 showing a preset animation interface, the preset logo is an image of a dandelion, and each group of broadcasting moving units includes 5 seeds moving from left to right edge of the page. Each frame of the animation takes 0.2 seconds, and moving distance of the first set equals to the width occupied by one seed, moving distance of the second set equals to the width occupied by two seeds, moving distance of the third set equals to the width occupied by three seeds and moving distance of the fourth set equals to the width occupied by four seeds, and so on.

In the present embodiment, when MicroBlog platform performs a refreshing operation, the preset animation interface displays animation according to a preset rule such that a user can get better sense of experience when waiting for refreshing progress.

202. calculating current length of the refresh progress bar when it is detected that the moving cursors arrive at the refresh progress bar.

In this step, the moving cursors, during pulling of data, consciously move in the direction of the refresh progress bar, and when it is detected that the moving cursors arrive at the refresh progress bar, the method calculates length of the refresh progress bar to be increased. Said calculation comprises:

acquiring amount of currently pulled refresh information;

calculating actual refresh progress based on the amount of currently pulled refresh information and total amount of refresh information need to be pulled; and

obtaining the current length of the refresh progress bar by multiplying the actual refresh progress by the width of the preset animation interface.

The actual refresh progress mentioned above is a percentage of the amount of currently pulled refresh information to total amount of refresh information need to be pulled. In the present embodiment, the amount of refresh information pulled each time may be set in advance, for example, 10, 20 or 25 pieces of information each time, to which the present embodiment is not specifically limited.

With calculation of the current length of the refresh progress bar based on the amount of currently pulled refresh information, pulling progress of involved network is associated with increase of the refresh progress bar such that a user can get to know network conditions from changes of the refresh progress bar, and thereby the user's sense of experience can be further improved.

203. outputting the current length of the refresh progress bar.

In the present embodiment, after the current length of the refresh progress bar is obtained through the calculation, the refresh progress bar with a corresponding length is displayed in the preset animation interface. The refresh progress bar may be displayed in a predetermined color, and the predetermined color may or may not be identical to color of the seeds, to which the present embodiment is not specifically limited.

Please note, in the present embodiment, if no refresh information has been pulled, the actual refresh progress is zero, and at this time the length of the refresh progress bar does not increase accordingly. In the present embodiment, when the length of the refresh progress bar does not increase, luminance of the moving cursors to be emitted is reduced to a preset value, such as 20%, 30%, or 40% of current transparency, to which the present embodiment is not specifically limited, in order to indicate the current network condition is poor. When the network condition become well, that is, refresh information is pulled again, transparency of the moving cursors is adjusted back to the original value. Of course, transparency of the moving cursors may not be adjusted depending on network condition, to which the present embodiment is not specifically limited. No increase in the length of the refresh progress bar represents that the calculated and output current output length of the refresh progress bar has not changed as compared with the length of refresh progress bar before the moving cursors arrives the refresh progress bar.

204. outputting pulled refresh information when the current length of the refresh progress bar equals to width of the preset animation interface.

In the present embodiment, with increase in pulled data, the refresh progress bar constantly grows in length, and when the length of the refresh progress bar fills width of the entire page, data pulling is completed, and at this time the preset animation interface exits and pulled information is output. Outputting pulled refresh information comprises: outputting data of refreshed information, and outputting the total amount of pulled refresh information in a form of floating window. If 20 pieces of MicroBblog information is pulled, the 20 pieces of information is output on the page, and a text of “a total of 20 pieces of new broadcasts are pulled” is output in form of a floating window, which informs the user the amount of the pulled information. The floating window may be at the bottom or top of the page, to which the present embodiment is not specifically limited.

In order for a person skilled in the art to understand the solution of the present invention well, an example is illustrated below.

As shown in FIG. 4, avatar 1-edited content 1, avatar 2-edited content 1, avatar 3-edited content 1 are displayed in the current MicroBlog page. When the refresh button in the page is clicked, the preset logo starts to emit moving cursors containing five seeds, and when the moving cursors arrive at edge of the page, the refresh progress bar begins to grow, as shown in FIG. 5. With growth of the refresh progress bar, when the length of the refresh progress bar equals to the width of the page, it is indicated that pulling of data is completed, as shown in FIG. 6. At this point, the preset animation interface exits and pulled data and the amount of pulled data are output, as shown in FIG. 7. Currently, what is displayed on the page are avatar 1-edited content 2, avatar 2-edited content 2, avatar 4-edited content 1, and a newest broadcasting message is displayed on the page to show a total of 20 pieces of new broadcasts have been pulled.

In the present embodiment, if the user clicks the cancel button before completion of pulling of data, the current refreshing operation is canceled and the preset animation interface exit and data of information that has been pulled and total amount of the pulled information are output. For example, when the user clicks the cancel button, 5 pieces of information have been pulled, and then these 5 pieces of information is output and a text of “a total of 5 pieces of new broadcasts have been pulled” is output in form of a floating window to inform the user the total amount of the pulled information.

The present embodiments can attain the following technical effects: when a page refreshing operation is performed, a preset animation interface is output, wherein the preset animation interface comprising a preset logo, moving cursors and a refresh progress bar, and the moving cursors move to the refresh progress bar starting from the preset logo; when it is detected that the moving cursors move to the refresh progress bar, current length of the refresh progress bar is calculated and output; and when the current length of the refresh progress bar equals to width of the preset animation interface, pulled refresh information is output. In such a manner, a preset animation interface is output when a page refreshing operation is performed, and thereby users can get better sense of experience. The color of the moving cursors may be adjusted depending on network condition such that the user can get to know the current network condition so as to decide whether to continue waiting for refreshing or to cancel the refreshing, and thereby the user's sense of experience can be further improved.
